I've just exchanged office views of Victoria Street in London for that of downtown Lagos. This is the office window view as photographed by me yesterday afternoon. Forget the skyline in Dubai or Bangkok. Igbosere, Lagos, is where it's at right now!

Welcome to Lagos. Are you here for long.
Welcome home. Hope you are enjoying your stay?
Greetings from Dakar.
One honorary African woman here. I want to come and visit some time, please!!!
Hope the move went well, MOlara, and that you will be very happy.
Hi MW! Hope all is well. Did you get any of my emails? How are you?

Glad that you are home safe and sound. I like this view out your window. To me it is the comfort of a chaotic African city.
V--Thanks. I am looking for a very big place, so our Honorary African Woman - and others - can visit!
JD--Don't mind me. You will hear from me sooner rather than later.
Lauri--I'm loving the chaotic grace of the view. Right now the sun lends a warm late afternoon glow to everything; the buildings cast lean shadows; and the road is patterned in strips of light and dark...

Molara Wood has "run the vodoo down"*. This is the best post I have ever seen in blogsville. Its amazing! Very classic
*like Miles Davis bitches brew which nothing surpases
Welcome.
Welcome.
Hope Lagos brings you inspiration. And I mean that without any tinge of skepticism.
Welcome.
Just got back from Nigeria. I saw your photo in one of the Nigerian papers. Wasnt sure if you were back for good or just there for the event. Nigeria, love it/hate it, there is some buzz about the place that you cant find here in the UK. But honestly, its a crumbling heap, but I still love it.
More Lagos images, MW?
Really happy for you; your move and all. Hope your work goes from strenght to strenght
